"O! she doth teach the torches to burn bright"
Shakespeare's most famous tragedy, "Romeo & Juliet." A boy and a girl fall head over heels for each other without realizing the deadly consequences of those feelings. Duh. I've already over-analyzed the heck out of this story thanks to English classes. So let's look at the loveliness that comes from Ro and Julie's love/lust.
"Methinks I see thee, now thou art so low,As one dead in the bottom of a tomb."
Baz Luhrmann did good with the modern day film version, did he not?
Angels, saints, candles, white flowy fabric.
"Did my heart love till now?" (The first time they see each other, is my favorite. Through the fish tank. Amazing.)
Feeling a like a Capulet? Try Renaissance tops, rich colors, and cross necklaces.

"...it seems she hangs upon the cheek of the night,
like some rich jewel in an ethiope's ear. Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear"
